I'm Special, You're Special Play Review

People with down syndrome need the same help just like other people. But sometimes they need help when it comes to inclusion. It's hard to get included but, there are ways to help out. In "I'm Special, Your Special," David Brown gets help from his family. David had a tough time in school because, everyone keep on criticizing him. His dad and mom can only provide encouragement but, David has to learn to handle inclusion on his own.

At the end, David earned an second place ribbon in the science fair. He became manager of the basketball team. His class mates became friends with him.  Being included is a special feeling. They say "three is a crowd" and everyone deserves their chance. Next month in this blog I'll be discussing about the Meiser Technique in the theater.

The Laramie Project Play Review

The Laramie Project follows the same message on tolerance and acceptance. This time the message applies to gay people. Hate crimes are used as an anti-social group for among gay people. The story of the Laramie Project is based on true events. Matthew Shepard was abused by two punks Aaron Mckinney and James Mckinney. They tied him to a fence and left him to die on his own. There is no sympathy to the population of Laramie, expect to couple of people.

Acceptance and tolerance can apply to everyone who are born with down syndrome and gay people. As Martin Luther king said "all men are created equal." I hope everyone feels the same. The next blog will be another play review of I'm Special, You're Special.
